## What are the tweaks?
|
||||
|
||||
- Tweaked **tab layout**!
|
||||
- My Books and My Notebooks are now "Books" and "Notes".
|
||||
- The Activity tab is now also visible as "Stats".
|
||||
- (Notes and Discover tabs are hidden by default, but can be re-enabled.)
|
||||
- Note: This is only available with the latest version of NickelMenu, which I included in the repository.
|
||||
- Added **customized fonts**.
|
||||
- Tweak tab with various options:
|
||||
- **Screensaver**: Toggles the screensaver by moving the `.kobo/screensaver` folder. The repository comes with a nice moon screensaver, but you can add your own.
|
||||
- **Screenshots**: Toggles taking screenshots with the power button. Take care to disable this timely or you may encounter issues w/ waking up the device.
|
||||
- **Auto USB**: Toggles automatic USB connection. Helpful if you connect to your computer frequently, and don't want to keep approving the connection.
|
||||
- **Toggle Legibility**: Toggles the experimental WebKit rendering feature, which enables rendering of ligatures. Since this causes issues w/ justified text rendering in `kepubs` this is a toggle. This will also briefly reboot your device!
|
||||
- **IP Address**: If connected to WiFi, displays your IP address.
|
||||
- **Invert & Reboot**: Inverts the colors of the entire display and reboots the device.
|
||||
- **Sleep**: Does the same as pressing the power button.
|
||||
- **Reboot**: Does the same as pressing the power button for a few seconds.
|
||||
- In the reader menu, a **Dark Mode** toggle has also been added. You can press the ... (ellipsis menu) to see this option when reading. You no longer need to dig into settings to toggle this!

First, install the latest version of [NickelMenu](https://pgaskin.net/NickelMenu/).
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the `.adds` directory to the root of your `KOBOeReader` volume. This is the configuration for NickelMenu and lets you start `KOReader`.

> I've actually included [a snapshot](https://github.com/pgaskin/NickelMenu/commit/2f7b78f26a162e1f598429e7ac18808db79af111) of the newest work-in-progress version of NickelMenu in the repository, but if there's a newer version you may want to download it from the website. If you want to download the same snapshot via GitHub, you can find [the build here](https://github.com/pgaskin/NickelMenu/actions/runs/16981265245).
|

|
||||
### KOReader
|
||||
To install NickelMenu, copy `.kobo/KoboRoot.tgz` to your device in the same folder and let your device reboot.
|
||||
|
||||
Install the latest release of `KOReader`. You can [download it here](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/releases).

#### Ensuring this works

|

Ensure your Kobo doesn't scan certain directories! Important if you want to use KOReader.

|

ExcludeSyncFolders=(calibre|\\.(?!kobo|adobe|calibre).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(This particular configuration ensures that a root-level `calibre` folder won't be scanned by Kobo's operating system.)
|
||||
**After doing this, disconnect your device and reboot it to apply this configuration tweak! After rebooting, you can copy over files to the `calibre` directory.**
|
||||
|
||||
This lets me **sync** my Kobo library via Kobo's UI, and separate it from my sideloaded books, which I copy to the `calibre` folder and read/manage via KOReader.
|
||||
(This particular configuration ensures that a root-level `calibre` folder won't be scanned by Kobo's operating system. This essentially keeps the Calibre books separate from the Kobo books. Great when using KOReader.)
|
||||
|
||||
Reboot your Kobo. Hold the power button until it has been turned off, then turn it on again.
|
||||
### KOReader
|
||||
|
||||
Copy over any sideloaded books to the `calibre` folder.
|
||||
If you want an alternative reading experience, this is the way to go, and a great combinatio with Calibre.
|
||||
|
||||
Install the latest release of `KOReader`. You can [download it here](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/releases).
|
||||
|
||||
Follow the instructions carefully. **You will also need to add a new item to `.adds/nm/items` to launch KOReader via the Tweak menu!**

### Fonts
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the `fonts` directory and any [extra fonts you like](https://github.com/nicoverbruggen/ebook-fonts/releases) over.
